Y’know, after reading so many different novels, light novels, LitRPGs, and so on, it really helps solidify what type of story a person wants to create and write. No wonder my teacher in my worldbuilding class said, “The best reference for a story is to read other stories.” Of course, that works best when they’re in the same genre you have in mind.
But to say I’ve been hooked on Dungeon Crawler Carl, Primal Hunter, Quest Academy, and other books would be an understatement. Also, the Dungeon Crawler Carl audiobooks are the best thing I’ve ever heard in my whole life. Before, I was skeptical of audiobooks, but the narrator from Sound Booth Studio? Yeah, he’s a whole VA.
Sure, I’m getting slower and slower because I’m taking my sweet time updating my book. But if reading and learning help me improve as an author, then I think it ain’t so bad.
